  • proton-ge-custom

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • Nobara is Fedora but with a lot of modification to make it gaming and content creation ready (such as kernel modded for gaming and easy davinci resolve setup) headed by the creator of Proton-GE. While I have my issues with Fedora and I would also recommend risiOS since they're more Fedora-newbie friendly (while having a toggle to enable a lot of what Nobara adds), it's still a distro worth looking into because it fulfills a niche and it fulfills it well.
